Salutació SALUDA WELCOME Salutació SALUDA WELCOME El sector de l’animació innova i es reinventa constantment. El llenguatge, la narració, la tècnica, la fotografia... avancen a un ritme que, sense oblidar els orígens, sempre tenen la capacitat de sorprendre’ns. Això és justament el que pretén Animac en cada edició, sorprendre l’espectador. Ja sigui amb treballs creatius i surrealistes, amb peces espontànies i suggeridores o amb el traç senzill i minuciós de l’autor, Animac vol fer-nos sentir, reflexionar i riure, i alhora traslladar-nos a mons paral·lels, on hi tinguin cabuda totes les idees i temàtiques possibles. La Mostra Internacional de Cinema d’Animació de Catalunya és un referent per al talent artístic, el tecnològic i la indústria cultural. Artistes i professionals d’arreu del món se citen a Lleida per tal de compartir els seus coneixements, per crear sinergies en projectes futurs i per gaudir i aprendre de les sessions audiovisuals, els tallers i les xerrades que omplen la programació de la mostra. Trajectòries consolidades i noms emergents conflueixen en aquest espai, que bull d’activitat a totes hores amb les conferències, les retrospectives, les sessions infantils i per a adults, etc. La música té una funció fonamental en l’animació. I enguany Animac ho vol reconèixer amb una edició més musical que mai. Entre els convidats i els participants no hi falten produccions del nostre territori. En una edició plena de ritme, l’Orquestra Simfònica Julià Carbonell posarà la música en directe a la producció japonesa Les Quatre Estacions de Vivaldi Animades, que és estrena internacional. Normand Roger, compositor canadenc i dissenyador de so per a pel·lícules, reconegut amb tretze nominacions i sis premis Oscar®, serà el convidat especial. I, entre altres, estarà acompanyat pel fundador de la productora belga Camera-etc, Jean-Luc C Slock o l’oscaritzada productora del National Film Board del Canadà, Marcy Page.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.

  • A Blue Cat on the Galactic Railroad: Anime and Cosmic Subjectivity
    PAUL ROQUET A Blue Cat on the Galactic Railroad: Anime and Cosmic Subjectivity L OOKING UP AT THE STARS does not demand much in the way of movement: the muscles in the back of the neck contract, the head lifts. But in this simple turn from the interpersonal realm of the Earth’s surface to the expansive spread of the night sky, subjectivity undergoes a quietly radical transformation. Social identity falls away as the human body gazes into the light and darkness of its own distant past. To turn to the stars is to locate the material substrate of the self within the vast expanse of the cosmos. In the 1985 adaptation of Miyazawa Kenji’s classic Japanese children’s tale Night on the Galactic Railroad by anime studio Group TAC, this turn to look up at the Milky Way comes to serve as an alternate horizon of self- discovery for a young boy who feels ostracized at school and has difficulty making friends. The film experiments with the emergent anime aesthetics of limited animation, sound, and character design, reworking these styles for a larger cultural turn away from social identities toward what I will call cosmic subjectivity, a form of self-understanding drawn not through social frames, but by reflecting the self against the backdrop of the larger galaxy. The film’s primary audience consisted of school-age children born in the 1970s, the first generation to come of age in Japan’s post-1960s con- sumer society. Many would have first encountered Miyazawa’s Night on the Galactic Railroad (Ginga tetsudo¯ no yoru; also known by the Esperanto title Neokto de la Galaksia Fervojo) as assigned reading in elementary school.
